Method of WIN8 system to backup important files with file history

You may not know that the file History feature is turned off by default, click to start can be opened, the first use of the need to select a drive, you can select an external drive (mobile hard disk or U disk) and network location, network location needs to set up a homegroup, and then back up the file to other members of the family group computer hard disk, Because the author did not set up a family group, here only to show the use of U disk related functions, the use of the network is similar.

Unfortunately, file history does not support active selection of drive folders, only links to libraries, but, in fact, we can associate files that need to be backed up to the library by default, and if we don't need to back up a lot of useless high-definition video or music files, You can select unwanted library files in the Exclude folder, which removes a large number of unimportant video files.

The first step, click to run immediately, you can back up the library file, speed depends on the size of your library files, the first slow, now show file history is backing up your copy of the file, this time to remove the U disk, will destroy your backup data, patiently waiting for a while, will be back to completion.

The second step, when we open the U disk, you will see the following folder. Configuration inside the XML file, is the backup data layout management, this part we do not need to understand, we back up the data are stored in the Date folder, we can read files inside, but this is very busy, We can retrieve the backed-up data by restoring the personal files in the file history.

Third step, click on the left column to restore personal files, you will see a choice of the interface, we are in the library inside the file for each change, the system will automatically update the default time frequency of the data inside, 4/4 means that I have made 4 changes to the file, each time the data are saved down, If we want to recover any of the data, clicking the green button restores the file at that time, and if a large number of files in the data are not changed, the system skips this part, skipping over these items and quickly completes.

The fourth step, in the advanced settings can change the frequency of the system to save the file, the default is one hour, of course, if we need to update now, you can manually update. You can also change the size of the offline cache, save the version, and select the default settings.
